Is there anything "wrong" with any of those RPG books? Is anything being phased out? Like Deathwatch or RT?

They did the same holiday sale last year, so I think it is just a seasonal event and probably a chance to clear inventory up a bit.

The War Store has put up a note but no details.
http://www.thewarstore.com/index.html?p=2696
In the past it's been an extra 5% off GW (comes out to 24% off) and I think an extra 10% off the rest of the store.

Nope. It's probably only the DH1.0 stuff that's going to become harder to find, so get The Lathe Worlds before it's gone for good!

I'm really thinking about getting some of the Dust stuff. Even with the shipping of approx. 60$ to Germany it is still a bargain.
As good as I find the packaging I would like to ask the FFG-guys to remove the big models from the boxes as otherwise mostly air would be shipped

Are they not planning to reissue the 1.0 sourcebooks with updated rules? I got Lathe Worlds a while back, but I'm still short a couple of the others.

Ouch! I see what you mean! You can buy a ton of stuff for $100 with some really good savings versus UK prices but the shipping for said goodies is in excess of $100. Curse you, oversized DUST boxes!

I couldn't resist, Dust tactics campaign packs for $9.00, heavy Mech for $9.00 and infantry for $4.00. Even with P&P to UK it's still only 1/4 of what I'd pay here...

FFG had a decent sale last year on Dust, but wow, those are some rock bottom prices. I'm not sure what this says about the popularity of the system that 18 months after changing rights, they still have this much stock on hand and need to practically give it away. Regardless, wish I needed some of those units.

TBF it's mainly units that a) came in starter sets and b) have limited battlefield application or c) were brand new when FFG transferred Dust to Battlefront (SSU). It's like when Miniature Market dumped GW at 50% off and they had like 30 plastic Space Marine captain kits and no one was buying them.

So is the FFG 40k RPG system being dumped or revamped? Those prices have me tempted to buy a lot, just not sure if its the end of the line for the rpg or not.

Miniature Market sales used to be great, but now they are so much bigger and widely known their site falls over every time they have a sale, to the point where everything is gone by the time you can checkout. Hope they fix that this year but not holding out much hope.

After reading Miniature Market's FAQ about black friday, I guess I'll remain cautiously optimistic.
I'm hoping they can match FFG's Dust prices. They've done it in the past, so we'll see.
I've sadly been able to hit that free shipping threshold within the span of a few moments every year.

Supposedly they've upgraded so the server can handle 4x the load. Which means it'll just take 12 minutes to check out instead of 48 minutes!

OMG! Those are some insane prices from FFG! I have never seen a game-sale coming near it in Sweden. Sadly the shipping costs here are as insane as the prices. I could easily spend 60-100 $ there but the P&P would double that.... sigh...

Seriously though great deals on stuff. I just was looking around at the site for fun and the holiday page was giving errors and stuff that was available earlier is gone now so I think they are getting slammed.

I'm hesitant to pick up any more of the rouge trader stuff. I'm still waiting for them to update it.
